There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Has any one have the rear light stay on when the unit is turned off !

Not exactly sure if this is what you mean, but I know on mine if I have it in reverse when I stop the bike, then the back up lights do stay on, but only for the same amount of time that all the other lights stay on while the computer powers down. Then they all go off together.

Rear lights
The 2011 RTL the lights stay on for a very short period then auto power down if that is what your referring to?

This has happened to me as well. I have looked at the brake pedal to "see" if was stuck and it doesn't appear to be the problem. I think it could be the microswitch that activates when the brake is depressed.
I have a 2010 RTS with 28K + miles

Brake lights on a STL
Yes, I recently bought my STL a couple of weeks ago. I was getting a little frustrated with the fact that the battery was constantly draining and stranding me. The dealership replaced the battery and after the second time it drained they found the problem. There was a small grommet behind the brake pedal that was sticking out too far and preventing the brake lever releasing all the way. It was making just enough connection to drain my battery. Well its been almost two weeks now and I haven't had a problem since. So it looks like we figured out the problem.:spyder2:

Back lights staying on when turned off
I do the same thing as the above. I tap on my brake pedal as well, and they turn off.

So I must be crazy oh the dealer is just in denial !
I picked up my sts and when I ask the tech bout the light , his reply was that of I must of left the key in it or maybe I was on the brake . He said he check out the bike and it was find , so as I got the bike home I turned the bike off and remove the key after a few seconds the head light turns off then the rear light was stood on , so I took pictures and video and sent it to the dealer . Funny thing is at the shop when picking the bike up I tried to get the light to stay on but it did not stay on lol . I do live next to a cemetery maybe there a ghost in the bike lol.

Sounds like a sticky or misadjusted brake switch, something interfering with complete return of the pedal, or a sticking brake pedal. Also sounds like a half-hearted technician. Stand in the door and shout if you have to, to get their attention. The responsibility to fix it is on them. Hopefully you can get them to realize that without contacting BRP Customer Service to get them involved. Sorry your dealer is a dud!

Yes, it happened several times so I took it to the dealer. There was a defect with the parking brake. Replaced it under warranty and I was on my way.
I've seen this issue once on my ST-L when I parked it. When it happened I noticed that if the brake pedal is very slightly depressed the light would stay on. If I lifted the pedal it would stay off. I haven't had it back to the dealer yet since this happened but I will definitely have them check it when its in. While I've only seen it happen once while the bike was parked but I'm concerned that it may be happening on the road when I lightly brake the pedal could be sticking a little and perhaps people behind me might be seeing my brake lights on when I'm not really braking anymore.
